The carriage drove very smoothly on the stone road.

The closed car door almost blocks out the sounds from the outside world.

In the not too big carriage, the conversation between the two people continued:

"Since you need water ghost brain, why don't you buy it in the store? I think it shouldn't be a problem to buy a batch of alchemy materials with the financial resources of the king's advisor."

"Because I have bought all the water ghost brains in the store, and the three you just sold will be sent to my laboratory soon."

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his brows and very wisely did not continue to ask, but began to lower his head in deep thought.

Seeing Lu Qi lost in thought, Keira finally stopped wasting time and directly threw out her chips:

"For every pound of water ghost brain, I will give you double the price. As long as I collect enough materials, I will give you an additional bounty."

"By the way, help me collect five more bottles of fresh water ghost blood, and I will buy them at twice the market price."

After that, Kayla didn't give Lu Qi a chance to refuse. She took off a small purse from her waist and threw it on the seat next to Lu Qi:

"Here is your deposit."

Keira's commanding tone made Lu Qi frown.

This sorceress is obviously used to her role as the king's advisor, and her attitude towards others always seems to be fussy.

However, after careful consideration, he still reached for the money bag, weighed it, and asked casually:

"Aren't you afraid that after I get the deposit, I will run away immediately and never come back?"

Hearing this, Keira smiled slightly and said meaningfully:

"I can see that you are not the kind of person who breaks promises. Besides, are you a smart person? Wouldn't you be stupid enough to do it for such a small amount of money? Offend a sorceress who can speak beside the king..."

Hearing the faint threat in Kayla's words, Lu Qi's expression remained as usual? Then he asked:

"After collecting the materials? Where should I find you?"

"Go to the guard in the inner city and tell me my name? He will know what to do."

At this time, Keira seemed to have remembered something? She suddenly added:

"Right? I want to remind you that this batch of materials must be collected within seven days. Otherwise? I don't need these disgusting smelly things."

"I see."

The words just finished? The carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman’s voice came from outside the carriage:

"Ma'am, we're in the inner city."

Hearing this, Lu Qi opened the car door very wisely and got out of the carriage.

"Okay? I hope you don't die in that dark, smelly place..."

Leaving such a sentence? Keira waved her hand casually, and the car door closed automatically with a "snap".

Watching the carriage slowly pass through the heavily guarded city gate and enter the inner city? Lu Qi then retracted his sight? He turned around and left...

...

The reason why Lu Qi accepted Keira’s commission was not just for the generous reward.

His main purpose of coming to Vizima was to inquire about information and find traces of the "White Wolf".

However, after meeting Keira, a sorceress, the plan changed.

He vaguely remembered that Geralt and Keira seemed to be old friends.

Therefore, Lu Qi felt that instead of asking around and searching for traces of Geralt all over the world, it would be more convenient to use Keira, a prominent advisor to the king.

Moreover, being able to make friends with a sorceress who masters magic is also an investment worth making.

If there is an opportunity, it would be a good thing to get more information about magic from the other party.

After all, this world is too dangerous, especially magic, which is hard to guard against. Learn more,

However, Lu Qi was not in a hurry to complete this commission.

There are still seven days left, plenty of time...

Returning to the trading area, he brought back the horses stored in the stables, and then stayed at a hotel called "Stone Cotton Light" for a good night's rest.

The next morning, when the rooster crows, Lu Qi leaves the hotel and begins his preparations:

First, he went to the blacksmith workshop and asked the dwarf blacksmith to make a silver-plated dagger.

Although the "Black Eagle" steel sword in his hand can easily kill water ghosts, which are at the bottom of monsters, it does not mean that it can cause even a little bit of substantial damage to some high-level monsters without bodies.

Therefore, in order to deal with the high-level monsters that may appear in the sewers, he reluctantly made a silver-plated dagger in case of emergency.

Why don't you make a silver-plated sword?

Very simple, no money!

Just a thirty-centimeter-long silver-plated dagger cost him twenty-five orens!

If Keira hadn't given twenty Orens in advance as a deposit, he wouldn't even be able to afford this weapon, which is specially used to deal with monsters.

After he got the equipment and the bottles and jars specially used to preserve the water ghost's brain and blood, it was night.

Under the cover of night, he appeared in various taverns in the Trade District and the Temple District, inquiring about information about the city's underground sewers.

Knowing that corpses and body parts torn apart by water ghosts were often found in the underground waterways recently, as well as the roars of monsters coming from time to time, Lu Qi felt that he would definitely encounter a warmer "welcome" this time.

After making all preparations, he came to the entrance of the sewer.

Lighting the torch, placing his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and being ready to draw the sword at any time, Lu Qi, who was lightly armed, walked into the city sewers of Vizima...

...

The mission went very smoothly.

Although he doesn't have the demon hunter's cat eyes that can still see things clearly in a dark environment, he can still move freely in the dark underground water.

The powerful [Eagle Vision] allowed him to discover the water ghost before it discovered him.

Perhaps due to luck, or because of the combat strategy of "shooting once and changing places", Lu Qi hunted water ghosts in the underground waterways for three consecutive days and killed no less than twenty water ghosts without encountering any other water ghosts.

A more powerful monster.

Lu Qi was not greedy. After collecting enough materials, he left the underground waterway without hesitation.

Monsters are also spiritual. If too many water ghosts die at once, the leader or boss of the water ghosts will definitely come out to avenge the younger brothers.

Lu Qi clearly remembered that when he was playing games, he got too excited by killing cows outside the village to earn money, and finally led to a hidden "Bull Demon King" (later confirmed to be a ram-horned demon).

He was chased around, but in the end he couldn't escape the tragic fate of being beaten to death.

This is no joke.
